Stewardship and education

Our volunteers remove invasive species from sensitive ecosystems, restore native species, clean up streams and rivers, and provide educational programs on a range of important environmental issues.

Clean ups

Our volunteers work to keep streams and rivers across the New River Valley free of solid waste.

Education

You can find master naturalists assisting at public events such as Hokie BugFest, as well as staffing informational tables at gatherings across the New River Valley. We give trainings to members and presentations to groups upon request that help educate our communities about natural resource conservation and living with wildlife.

Invasive species

Our volunteers remove invasive species from areas such as Virginia Tech's Stadium Woods and Pandapas Pond Day Use Area. We also establish native species and habitats wherever possible.
